    In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

    When I wake up, I get up and go into the shower. In the shower I have a ritual called ‘terminator’. I crouch in the shower in the “naked terminator” pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

    Every morning I wake up after about 5 hours of dodgy sleep, thinking of how unemployed people are so lucky getting a sleep in. :pac:

    Well he may have meant that he;
    "packs a foot-long in the pants"

    but he could easily have meant
    "packs a foot, long in the pants"
    which begs the question where does he get the foot, and how do you pack it "long"

    In either case though, I think we can all agree that soon-to-be Mrs. Snyper is indeed a very, very lucky lady!

    (It's all in the grammer, if not in the pants)

    I take a swig of whiskey in the morning, leap out of bed fully dressed and stagger out into the light before my head is fully awake or my eyes fully adjusted, then I start to run, ensuring that by the time I am awake, I am drunk, dressed, and moving towards my unknown goal for the day.

    I free run where possible, and pick up speed leaping objects and making great time.

    By the time I reach my rocket cycle's hiding spot on the edge of a cliff over looking the jungle, I will have karate kicked 7 servants of the man into the next world.

    Kayaii!

    My gamma helmet materialises on my head, and my gamma leather rocket cycle suit on my torso. Ha Ha ha! It is on backwards, I cross my arms and shout Yakaii! It materialises the right way round, I leap onto the cycle, it greets me 'greatings admiral space ranger Zap Flashion, calibrating G stabalisation and I twist the electro throttle to full maximisation before the G stabalisation kicks in, giving me 30 seconds of free thrust to push the rocket cycles performance into the danger zone.

    I exit the atmosphere and head towards the sun, where I have a ****, wake up fully, get dressed, brush my teeth grab my college gear and go in to continue my project.

    Daily preparation rituals rarely have anything to do with fashion or appearance.

    Up at 0715 stretch and take a long drink of cold OJ.

    Down for a bowl of all bran,prunes and bananas peppered with muesli.

    Mug of strong coffee,toast and marm(Little Chip)

    Blow out a fairly hefty fart and check back of dressing gown for "sediment"

    0745 put a bit of a stretch on the spinct to see if there is a round in the chamber...:eek: Fully loaded and primed!!!!

    Up to the shítter keeping her "on the clutch" as it were,seat up,swivel, bend to 45 degrees and pour on the power Whaaaaaaaaaap.

    Survey the damage and any collateral and allow sphinct to recover before loosening any stray clag from the pan.

    Into the shower, work the hand well into the crevices to shift any winnits or muzzle dirt,powder up under the ballsack,spray of dettolex on the bell to keep her shiny ,suit up and away!!

    rarely varies.
